Chapter 24

Phonetic (Hebrew): bּen-shshe֤ba shshaniym֙ yo'a֣shsh bּemalek֔o ve'arebּa'i֣ym shshana֔h mala֖ke bּiֽyrushshala֑im veshshe֣m 'imּ֔o tzibeya֖h mibּe'e֥r shshaֽba'׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

בֶּן־שֶׁ֤בַע שָׁנִים֙ יֹאָ֣שׁ בְּמָלְכ֔וֹ וְאַרְבָּעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּֽירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ צִבְיָ֖ה מִבְּאֵ֥ר שָֽׁבַע׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּa֧'ashs yo'a֛shsh hayּashsha֖r bּe'eyne֣y yehva֑h kּal-yeme֖y yehoyada֥ hakּoheֽn׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Joash did what was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

וַיַּ֧עַשׂ יוֹאָ֛שׁ הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כָּל־יְמֵ֖י יְהוֹיָדָ֥ע הַכֹּהֵֽן׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּishsּa'-l֥o yehoyada֖ nashshi֣ym shshetּa֑yim vayּ֖oled bּani֥ym ubanֽot׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he fathered sons and daughters.

וַיִּשָּׂא־ל֥וֹ יְהוֹיָדָ֖ע נָשִׁ֣ים שְׁתָּ֑יִם וַיּ֖וֹלֶד בָּנִ֥ים וּבָנֽוֹת׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayehi֖y 'acharey ke֑n hayah֙ 'im-le֣b yo'a֔shsh lechadּe֖shsh 'et-bּe֥yt yehvaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Now it happened after this that Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.

וַיְהִ֖י אַחֲרֵי כֵ֑ן הָיָה֙ עִם־לֵ֣ב יוֹאָ֔שׁ לְחַדֵּ֖שׁ אֶת־בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּiqebּotz֮ 'et-hakּohani֣ym vehaleviyּim֒ vayּo֣'mer lahe֡m tze'֣u le'are֪y yehuda֟h veqibetzu֩ mikּal-yishsera'e֨l kּe֜sep lechazּe֣q ׀ 'et-bּe֣yt 'eloֽheyke֗m midּe֤y shshanah֙ bּeshshana֔h ve'atּe֖m tּemahar֣u ladּaba֑r velo֥ miֽhar֖u haֽleviyּiֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Then he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them: "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you hurry the matter." However the Levites did not hurry it.

וַיִּקְבֹּץ֮ אֶת־הַכֹּהֲנִ֣ים וְהַלְוִיִּם֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֡ם צְא֣וּ לְעָרֵ֪י יְהוּדָ֟ה וְקִבְצוּ֩ מִכָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל כֶּ֜סֶף לְחַזֵּ֣ק ׀ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֗ם מִדֵּ֤י שָׁנָה֙ בְּשָׁנָ֔ה וְאַתֶּ֖ם תְּמַהֲר֣וּ לַדָּבָ֑ר וְלֹ֥א מִֽהֲר֖וּ הַֽלְוִיִּֽם׃

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּiqera֣ hamּeleke֮ liֽyhoyada֣ haro'shsh֒ vayּo֣'mer l֗o madּ֨u'a֙ loֽ'-dara֣shshetּa 'al-haleviyּi֔m lehabi֞y miֽyhuda֣h umiֽyrushshalai֗m 'et-mashse'at֙ moshshe֣h 'eֽbed-yehva֔h vehaqּaha֖l leyishsera'e֑l le'o֖hel ha'edֽut׃
Edified Edition (EDE)So the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him: "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD and of the assembly of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?"

וַיִּקְרָ֣א הַמֶּלֶךְ֮ לִֽיהוֹיָדָ֣ע הָרֹאשׁ֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ מַדּ֨וּעַ֙ לֹֽא־דָרַ֣שְׁתָּ עַל־הַלְוִיִּ֔ם לְהָבִ֞יא מִֽיהוּדָ֣ה וּמִֽירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם אֶת־מַשְׂאַת֙ מֹשֶׁ֣ה עֶֽבֶד־יְהוָ֔ה וְהַקָּהָ֖ל לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְאֹ֖הֶל הָעֵדֽוּת׃

7
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּi֤y 'ataleya֨hu֙ hamּireshsha֔'at bּane֥yha paretz֖u 'et-bּe֣yt ha'elohi֑ym vegam֙ kּal-qadeshshe֣y beyt-yehva֔h 'ashs֖u labּe'aliֽym׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had even given all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD to the Baals.

כִּ֤י עֲתַלְיָ֨הוּ֙ הַמִּרְשַׁ֔עַת בָּנֶ֥יהָ פָרְצ֖וּ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְגַם֙ כָּל־קָדְשֵׁ֣י בֵית־יְהוָ֔ה עָשׂ֖וּ לַבְּעָלִֽים׃

8
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֣'mer hamּe֔leke vaֽyּa'ashs֖u 'ar֣on 'echa֑d vaֽyּitּenu֛hu bּeshsha֥'ar bּeyt-yehva֖h chֽutzah׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Then at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of the LORD.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֖וּ אֲר֣וֹן אֶחָ֑ד וַֽיִּתְּנֻ֛הוּ בְּשַׁ֥עַר בֵּית־יְהוָ֖ה חֽוּצָה׃

9
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּitּenu-q֞ol bּiֽyhuda֣h ubiֽyrushshalai֗m lehabi֤y laֽyhvah֙ mashse'a֞t moshshe֧h 'eֽbed-ha'elohi֛ym 'al-yishsera'e֖l bּamּidebּaֽr׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God had imposed on Israel in the wilderness.

וַיִּתְּנוּ־ק֞וֹל בִּֽיהוּדָ֣ה וּבִֽירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם לְהָבִ֤יא לַֽיהוָה֙ מַשְׂאַ֞ת מֹשֶׁ֧ה עֶֽבֶד־הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

10
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּishsemech֥u kal-hashsּari֖ym vekal-ha'a֑m vayּabi֛y'u vayּashsheli֥yku la'ar֖on 'ad-lekalּeֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Then all the leaders and all the people rejoiced, brought their money, and cast it into the chest until they had finished.

וַיִּשְׂמְח֥וּ כָל־הַשָּׂרִ֖ים וְכָל־הָעָ֑ם וַיָּבִ֛יאוּ וַיַּשְׁלִ֥יכוּ לָאָר֖וֹן עַד־לְכַלֵּֽה׃

11
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayehi֡y bּe'et֩ yabi֨y 'et-hֽa'ar֜on 'el-pּequdּa֣t hamּeleke֮ bּeya֣d haleviyּim֒ vekire'ota֞m kּiy-ra֣b hakּe֗sep uba֨ sope֤r hamּe֨leke֙ upeqiyd֙ kּohe֣n haro֔'shsh viy'a֨ru֙ 'et-ha֣'ar֔on veyishsּa'u֖hu viֽyshshiybu֣hu 'el-meqom֑o kּo֤h 'ashsu֙ ley֣om ׀ bּey֔om vayּaֽ'asepu-ke֖sep laroֽb׃
Edified Edition (EDE)So it was, at whatever time the chest was brought to the king’s official by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

וַיְהִ֡י בְּעֵת֩ יָבִ֨יא אֶת־הָֽאָר֜וֹן אֶל־פְּקֻדַּ֣ת הַמֶּלֶךְ֮ בְּיַ֣ד הַלְוִיִּם֒ וְכִרְאוֹתָ֞ם כִּי־רַ֣ב הַכֶּ֗סֶף וּבָ֨א סוֹפֵ֤ר הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ וּפְקִיד֙ כֹּהֵ֣ן הָרֹ֔אשׁ וִיעָ֨רוּ֙ אֶת־הָ֣אָר֔וֹן וְיִשָּׂאֻ֖הוּ וִֽישִׁיבֻ֣הוּ אֶל־מְקֹמ֑וֹ כֹּ֤ה עָשׂוּ֙ לְי֣וֹם ׀ בְּי֔וֹם וַיַּֽאַסְפוּ־כֶ֖סֶף לָרֹֽב׃

12
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּitּene֨hu hamּe֜leke viֽyhoyada֗ 'el-'oshseh֙ mele֨'ket֙ 'aboda֣t bּeyt-yehva֔h vayּiֽhey֤u shsokeriym֙ chotzebi֣ym vecharashshi֔ym lechadּe֖shsh bּe֣yt yehva֑h ve֠gam lecharashshe֤y barezel֙ unecho֔shshet lechazּe֖q 'et-bּe֥yt yehvaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also those who worked in iron and bronze to mend the house of the LORD.

וַיִּתְּנֵ֨הוּ הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ וִֽיהוֹיָדָ֗ע אֶל־עוֹשֵׂה֙ מְלֶ֨אכֶת֙ עֲבוֹדַ֣ת בֵּית־יְהוָ֔ה וַיִּֽהְי֤וּ שֹׂכְרִים֙ חֹצְבִ֣ים וְחָרָשִׁ֔ים לְחַדֵּ֖שׁ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וְ֠גַם לְחָרָשֵׁ֤י בַרְזֶל֙ וּנְחֹ֔שֶׁת לְחַזֵּ֖ק אֶת־בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

13
Phonetic (Hebrew): vaֽyּa'ashsu֙ 'oshse֣y hamּela'ka֔h vatּa֧'al 'aruka֛h lamּela'ka֖h bּeyada֑m vaֽyּa'ami֜ydu 'et-bּe֧yt haֽ'elohi֛ym 'al-matekּunetּ֖o vaֽye'amּetzuֽhu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)So the workmen laboured, and the work was completed by them; they restored the house of God to its original condition and strengthened it.

וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ֙ עֹשֵׂ֣י הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה וַתַּ֧עַל אֲרוּכָ֛ה לַמְּלָאכָ֖ה בְּיָדָ֑ם וַֽיַּעֲמִ֜ידוּ אֶת־בֵּ֧ית הָֽאֱלֹהִ֛ים עַל־מַתְכֻּנְתּ֖וֹ וַֽיְאַמְּצֻֽהוּ׃

14
Phonetic (Hebrew): uֽkekalּota֡m hebi֣y'u lipeney֩ hamּe֨leke viֽyhoyada֜ 'et-shshe'a֣r hakּe֗sep vayּa'ashse֨hu keli֤ym lebeyt-yehvah֙ kּele֣y shshare֔t veha'al֣ot vekapּ֔ot ukele֥y zaha֖b vaka֑sep va֠yּiֽheyu ma'ali֨ym 'ol֤ot bּebeyt-yehvah֙ tּami֔yd kּo֖l yeme֥y yehoyadaֽ'׃p
Edified Edition (EDE)When they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the house of the LORD, vessels for ministering and offering, spoons and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

וּֽכְכַלּוֹתָ֡ם הֵבִ֣יאוּ לִפְנֵי֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ וִֽיהוֹיָדָ֜ע אֶת־שְׁאָ֣ר הַכֶּ֗סֶף וַיַּעֲשֵׂ֨הוּ כֵלִ֤ים לְבֵית־יְהוָה֙ כְּלֵ֣י שָׁרֵ֔ת וְהַעֲל֣וֹת וְכַפּ֔וֹת וּכְלֵ֥י זָהָ֖ב וָכָ֑סֶף וַ֠יִּֽהְיוּ מַעֲלִ֨ים עֹל֤וֹת בְּבֵית־יְהוָה֙ תָּמִ֔יד כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י יְהוֹיָדָֽע׃פ

15
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּizeqa֧n yehoyada֛ vayּishsebּa֥ yami֖ym vayּamo֑t bּen-me'a֧h ushsheloshshi֛ym shshana֖h bּemotֽo׃
Edified Edition (EDE)But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days when he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old when he died.

וַיִּזְקַ֧ן יְהוֹיָדָ֛ע וַיִּשְׂבַּ֥ע יָמִ֖ים וַיָּמֹ֑ת בֶּן־מֵאָ֧ה וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֛ים שָׁנָ֖ה בְּמוֹתֽוֹ׃

16
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּiqebּeru֥hu be'iyr-dּavi֖yd 'im-hamּelaki֑ym kּiֽy-'ashsa֤h tobah֙ bּeyishsera'e֔l ve'i֥m ha'elohi֖ym ubeytֽo׃s
Edified Edition (EDE)And they buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and toward His house.

וַיִּקְבְּרֻ֥הוּ בְעִיר־דָּוִ֖יד עִם־הַמְּלָכִ֑ים כִּֽי־עָשָׂ֤ה טוֹבָה֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְעִ֥ם הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים וּבֵיתֽוֹ׃ס

17
Phonetic (Hebrew): ve'aֽchare֥y mot֙ yeh֣oyada֔ bּa֚'u shsare֣y yehuda֔h vayּiֽshshetּachav֖u lamּe֑leke 'a֛z shshama֥ hamּe֖leke 'aleyheֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king. And the king listened to them.

וְאַֽחֲרֵ֥י מוֹת֙ יְה֣וֹיָדָ֔ע בָּ֚אוּ שָׂרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲו֖וּ לַמֶּ֑לֶךְ אָ֛ז שָׁמַ֥ע הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

18
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּaֽ'azeb֗u 'et-bּe֤yt yehvah֙ 'elohe֣y 'aboteyhe֔m vayּaֽ'abed֥u 'et-ha'ashsheri֖ym ve'et-haֽ'atzabּi֑ym vaֽyehiy-qe֗tzep 'al-yehudah֙ viyr֣ushshalai֔m bּe'ashshemata֖m zoֽ't׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served wooden images and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass.

וַיַּֽעַזְב֗וּ אֶת־בֵּ֤ית יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבוֹתֵיהֶ֔ם וַיַּֽעַבְד֥וּ אֶת־הָאֲשֵׁרִ֖ים וְאֶת־הָֽעֲצַבִּ֑ים וַֽיְהִי־קֶ֗צֶף עַל־יְהוּדָה֙ וִיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם בְּאַשְׁמָתָ֖ם זֹֽאת׃

19
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּishshela֤ch bּahem֙ nebi'i֔ym lahashshiyba֖m 'el-yehva֑h vayּa'i֥ydu ba֖m velo֥ he'eziֽynu׃s
Edified Edition (EDE)Yet He sent prophets to them to bring them back to the LORD; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח בָּהֶם֙ נְבִאִ֔ים לַהֲשִׁיבָ֖ם אֶל־יְהוָ֑ה וַיָּעִ֥ידוּ בָ֖ם וְלֹ֥א הֶאֱזִֽינוּ׃ס

20
Phonetic (Hebrew): ver֣ucha 'elohi֗ym laֽbeshshah֙ 'et-zekareyah֙ bּen-yehoyada֣ hakּohe֔n vaֽyּa'amo֖d me'a֣l la'a֑m vayּo֨'mer lahe֜m kּo֣h ׀ 'ama֣r ha'elohi֗ym lamah֩ 'atּe֨m 'oberi֜ym 'et-mitzevo֤t yehvah֙ velo֣ tatzeli֔ychu kּiֽy-'azabetּe֥m 'et-yehva֖h vayּaֽ'azo֥b 'etekeֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people and said to them: "Thus says God: 'Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He also has forsaken you.' "

וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֗ים לָֽבְשָׁה֙ אֶת־זְכַרְיָה֙ בֶּן־יְהוֹיָדָ֣ע הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וַֽיַּעֲמֹ֖ד מֵעַ֣ל לָעָ֑ם וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לָהֶ֜ם כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים לָמָה֩ אַתֶּ֨ם עֹבְרִ֜ים אֶת־מִצְוֺ֤ת יְהוָה֙ וְלֹ֣א תַצְלִ֔יחוּ כִּֽי־עֲזַבְתֶּ֥ם אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה וַיַּֽעֲזֹ֥ב אֶתְכֶֽם׃

21
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּiqeshsher֣u 'ala֔yv vayּiregּemu֥hu 'e֖ben bּemitzeva֣t hamּe֑leke bּachatza֖r bּe֥yt yehvaֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)So they conspired against him, and at the commandment of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the LORD.

וַיִּקְשְׁר֣וּ עָלָ֔יו וַיִּרְגְּמֻ֥הוּ אֶ֖בֶן בְּמִצְוַ֣ת הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ בַּחֲצַ֖ר בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had shown him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, "The LORD look upon it, and require it!"

וְלֹא־זָכַ֞ר יוֹאָ֣שׁ הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ הַחֶ֨סֶד֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֜ה יְהוֹיָדָ֤ע אָבִיו֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וַֽיַּהֲרֹ֖ג אֶת־בְּנ֑וֹ וּכְמוֹת֣וֹ אָמַ֔ר יֵ֥רֶא יְהוָ֖ה וְיִדְרֹֽשׁ׃פ

23
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayehi֣y ׀ litequpa֣t hashshּana֗h 'ala֣h 'alayv֮ che֣yl 'aram֒ vayּabo֗'u 'el-yehudah֙ viyr֣ushshalai֔m vayּashshechi֛ytu 'et-kּal-shsare֥y ha'a֖m me'a֑m vekal-shshelala֥m shshilּech֖u leme֥leke dּaremaֽshseq׃
Edified Edition (EDE)So it happened in the course of the year that the army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

וַיְהִ֣י ׀ לִתְקוּפַ֣ת הַשָּׁנָ֗ה עָלָ֣ה עָלָיו֮ חֵ֣יל אֲרָם֒ וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ אֶל־יְהוּדָה֙ וִיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם וַיַּשְׁחִ֛יתוּ אֶת־כָּל־שָׂרֵ֥י הָעָ֖ם מֵעָ֑ם וְכָל־שְׁלָלָ֥ם שִׁלְּח֖וּ לְמֶ֥לֶךְ דַּרְמָֽשֶׂק׃

Edified Edition (EDE)For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; but the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgement against Joash.

כִּי֩ בְמִצְעַ֨ר אֲנָשִׁ֜ים בָּ֣אוּ ׀ חֵ֣יל אֲרָ֗ם וַֽיהוָה֙ נָתַ֨ן בְּיָדָ֥ם חַ֨יִל֙ לָרֹ֣ב מְאֹ֔ד כִּ֣י עָֽזְב֔וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבוֹתֵיהֶ֑ם וְאֶת־יוֹאָ֖שׁ עָשׂ֥וּ שְׁפָטִֽים׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And when they had departed from him (for they left him severely wounded), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

וּבְלֶכְתָּ֣ם מִמֶּ֗נּוּ כִּֽי־עָזְב֣וּ אֹתוֹ֮ במחליים בְּמַחֲלוּיִ֣ם רַבִּים֒ הִתְקַשְּׁר֨וּ עָלָ֜יו עֲבָדָ֗יו בִּדְמֵי֙ בְּנֵי֙ יְהוֹיָדָ֣ע הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וַיַּֽהַרְגֻ֥הוּ עַל־מִטָּת֖וֹ וַיָּמֹ֑ת וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻ֨הוּ֙ בְּעִ֣יר דָּוִ֔יד וְלֹ֥א קְבָרֻ֖הוּ בְּקִבְר֥וֹת הַמְּלָכִֽים׃ס

Edified Edition (EDE)These are the ones who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.

וְאֵ֖לֶּה הַמִּתְקַשְּׁרִ֣ים עָלָ֑יו זָבָ֗ד בֶּן־שִׁמְעָת֙ הָֽעַמּוֹנִ֔ית וִיה֣וֹזָבָ֔ד בֶּן־שִׁמְרִ֖ית הַמּוֹאָבִֽית׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Now concerning his sons, and the many burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the annals of the book of the kings. Then Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
